What I wore:
Skirt: Jeanswest Farrah blue tie dye maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware
Why I wore it:
Wore this tee for a little bit of local shopping! While I'd been stuck at home for almost a week recovering from surgery I'd anticipated feeling better on this day so I'd booked the kids in for a school holiday workshop a few weeks prior, and then we set off to get some essentials that we hadn't been able to get in our regular grocery shop due to the explosion of Covid cases. While the big supermarkets had very little choice and a lot of empty shelves, as hoped for all the local independent stores and the IGA had what we needed. It really pays to shop local!Had an appointment with the surgeon in the afternoon to check up on post-surgery complications and see why my recovery wasn't going as well as expected too.
Thought this Love Local tee would be a very appropriate one to wear for the day, and I really just wanted an easy and comfortable outfit as I anticipated having to travel around a few shops to get what we needed. This oversized tee tucks in nicely to the tie dye maxi skirt and I like black and blue together. The black Converse and black Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote bag matched it nicely as well.

Most and Least Used Bags In My Handbag Collection:
What I wore:
Tee: Jimmy Rees Pfiiiiizer darling vaxed tee (Christmas gift)
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star coast blue
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff medium unlined tote in black with shellac studded dome hardware
Why I wore it:
Didn't take a proper photo of this outfit in my back yard as usual! This was only a couple days after surgery and my face was still significantly swollen up. Thank goodness you couldn't tell once I had the face mask on! We took the kids out that morning for their first vaccine, as they were only eligible for it here from the 10th January. I really wasn't feeling great and slept a lot when we got home but I'd booked the first slot I could for them, knowing it was close to my surgery date but that being a bit sore and uncomfortable was a small thing to deal with to make sure they were vaccinated.I'd planned my outfit in advance as I knew I'd not have the energy that morning! Again, like the above it was a simple text tee with a printed maxi skirt. This navy striped skirt goes with everything and it worked well with my Pfiiizer tee that my sister got me for Christmas. (Jimmy Rees being an Australian treasure!) I thought it fitting to wear for the kids vaccine appointment, it made me smile!
The black Rebecca Minkoff tote bag again was a good practical choice as it fits everyone's water bottles inside easily. The little reusable tote bag was one they gave the kids with some activities and stickers for while they were waiting around before leaving the venue, which was helpful.
Last worn: navy stripe maxi skirt, blue Converse, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote (above). First time I've worn the tee as it was a Christmas present.
Other ways to wear: navy stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, blue Converse and denim skirt, Rebecca Minkoff unlined tote and dress.
How You Can Wear It:
Just like shorts and a tee, a maxi skirt and tee is an equally comfortable summer outfit! A fun printed one can add a little interest to a neutral grey or black tee as I've worn here.
I hope you are feeling better and swelling is going down. It's hard to get rest when you have little ones!

Deinitely! i'm lucky hubby was so helpful at taking care of them and letting me rest a lot!
DeleteOoh how I love your tee and maxi skirt combo. Looks super cozy. Talking about wisdom tooth removal, I was having a conversation about the subject with a friend as he was afraid of getting his removed as his dentist had recommended him to. My sister was due to remove hers too but she's been procrastinating since before the pandemic, hahah. I so agree with you that now is the time to support our local businesses! Time's tough right now and I do my bit to shop local any chance I get :) Hope you and kiddos are doing well. I wish you a fab week ahead <3 xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh mine have been due to come out for ages - I had a very bad experience getting 2 out in the chair years ago that gave me a fear of dentists I never had - it took me a while to work up the courage to get these out and in the end the pain was the thing that made me do it. It's nice to be pain free!
DeleteGetting your wisdom teeth out is no fun! I'm glad you're recovering. These outfits look cute and comfy!
ReplyDeleteGood comfy choices for post surgery errands. I love the tie-dye maxi!

That love local shirt is so fabulous and I'm glad you were able to find everything you needed at local shops. It sounds like you have been going through a lot. I hope you are feeling better <3
ReplyDeletethe creation of beauty is art.
Thank you I am doing much better now!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear your recovery hasn't been as smooth as it should! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad it wasn't as bad as the first two I had out, the surgeon and all his staff have been so helpful explaining things and making sure I had support and checkups!
DeleteThank goodness for face masks!
ReplyDeleteTwo perfect easy-going outfits, but I'm loving the second one the most. I think I need that tee :-) and I love the stripes and checks pattern mix going on between your skirt and your mask! Glad to hear the boys have received their first vaccine now! xxx
Yes it's a relief they have been able to have it!
DeleteI hope you're feeling better now. I know what you mean about getting the kiddos in for their vaccines as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteThe first skirt is amazing *-* I love it
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
I hope you have a nice weekend
Kisses ♥
I liek the Farrah maxi, and that black tote. <3 Wishing you all the best this week. I took off a bit because I has to travel for work so I am finally back to blogging.

I hope you're recovering now, Mica - I still have all of my wisdom teeth!
ReplyDeleteLove your printed skirts - they really go with everything, don't they? I love a graphic tee, and you can't go wrong with "Shop Local" (good for you!). I bet you got a ton of comments on it!
That is a lovely bag - I am not able to use that kind of shopper anymore, as it wreaks havoc on my back.
Almost the weekend! take care, Mica!
Yes it is the kind of tee that gets approving comments! It makes me smile :) thankfully this tote is super light (unlined leather) and so it's a breeze to carry!
DeleteI kinda wish I had all mine - but they were causing issues so I had to go through the drama of removing them sadly!
I hope you feel better soon. I'm so happy that your kids were able to get vaccinated. Still waiting on my daughter to be able to. We have 8 more month to go until she of age to get the vaccine.

Hopefully they get approval for younger years soon so you don't have to wait so long! I feel better knowing my kids are vaccinated - I know it doesn't hit a lot of kids hard, but with pre-existing conditions.... I worry about long covid too.
DeleteLove the combo of tee and maxi skirt, both looks are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBoth outfits look so comfortable and cute, Mica!
ReplyDeleteYou have many maxi skirts and T-shirts!!
My experience of wisdom teeth surgery was hard, too! I hope you are getting better<3

Thank you Akiko! I'm feeling much better now, it was tough for a bit but the surgeon was really supportive and we got on top of the issues!

I'm sorry you've had to have dental surgery. I had quite a bit when I was younger and remember the swollen face and nagging pain.
ReplyDeleteLoving the tie-dyed maxi skirt and I'm glad your children have been able to get vaccinated. All our restrictions were lifted a month ago and so far, we've not had any major spikes in infection. The end is in sight! xxx
Its great the end is in sight for you! We went from having 0 cases here to having thousands daily when they relaxed restrictions so it's taking some getting used to, this "new normal" where our friends and family are falling sick. Luckily not us yet.
DeleteDid you have dental problems ... is everything okay yet?
ReplyDeleteThat's good clothes.
Yes I did, but thankfully all better now!
DeleteSuch fresh and comfy outfits, Mica!
ReplyDeleteThey're both perfect for a day of errands or a stroll around the local shops!
I'm sorry for your wisdom teeth, I know it's not an easy task and hope you'll get better soon!

Comfortable outfits are such a must when you're not feeling 100%. I don't have my wisdom teeth out but all my friends who've had the surgery says the recovery does take some time. Hope you're feeling much better now Mica!
ReplyDeleteYes it's a very difficult surgery I think - all surgery is! But I'm feeling much better!
DeleteMe encanta el primer look es genial te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteLos dos outfits me encantaron, me gusto el estilo que le dan las camisetas a las faldas, saludos:D
ReplyDeleteHi Mica, I haven't been here in so long but that's because I didn't blog for quite some time and now I am getting back into it. Missed stopping by. Sorry to hear you had surgery but glad that you are doing better. Love your signature style with the maxis and Rebecca Minkoff bags. That first "local" tee is wonderful. I love shopping local.
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling now after surgery?!
Happy Valentine's Day and do stop by. =) Would love for you to stop on my Instagram too, to catch up on my stories and what I have been up to. Wishing you a great 2022 ahead!!

Thank you! I'm feeling much better now - the surgeon is so supportive and always has a plan so we got things under control again!
Deleteyour first outfit would be so cute at a music festival!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better. I missed this post. was planning on taking my wisdom tooth out last month, but my dentist talked me out of it, after few appointments we managed to save it.
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely in these maxi skirts.
Oh I wish I could have done that! Mine had been causing me a lot of pain and I knew I'd have to have them out eventually - even if we tried something it would just delay it so I knew I had to have them removed. Glad it's all over now!
DeleteI love the graphic tee with the maxi skirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your kind comments - I'm feeling much better post surgery now! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the t-shirt, maxi skirt combo and I especially love the "local" tee. I hope you're feeling much better these days and have fully recovered from your surgery.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I have!
